The 2020 FOC-U Bike Picture Challenge
« on: 05 January 2020, 12:00:34 pm »
The 2019 FOC-U Bike Picture Challenge   A reiteration of the rules.   
1. All challenges must be of YOUR bike and a landmark, or something obscure or creative, something most people can ride to in their area.
 
2. Picture has to be taken after challenge is made.
 
3. Challenge is good for a week; if it is not met after that time, the previous picture poster picks a new challenge.
 
4. Nothing illegal to be challenged.
 
5. Keep comments to a minimum; if you comment, post the current challenge in bold type after your comment.
 
6. No repeat challenges.
 
7. No other bikes can be used, eg, your bike next to a Ducati. Some exceptions will be allowed, eg, your bike next to a bike cop.
 
8. Only 1 person can win each challenge; any other entrants will not be counted, due to throwing the whole game off track and adding challenges that don't stand.
 
9. If any dispute about a challenge occurs, 3 oks from others settles the challenge.
 
Remember, this thread is supposed to get people to want to go ride straight away and beat others to the challenge - be creative, but be sensible about it.
 
Have fun Foccers!

Please forgive the technical muppetry, if anyone can suss how to rotate the pic I'd be grateful. If accepted keeping the travel theme, your bike next to an aircraft or active airfield.

It will be OK in the end. If it's not OK, it's not the end.

It is a cool picture Sharpy, could be improved slightly though, with a blue Foxeye in the place of the black Boxeye ;)

  Just saying. :D
  Is it Waddington?

East Midlands airport. http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=18436.25. It was on a crappy old phone that takes the picture about 1.5 seconds after your press the button.

I can't believe no-one can't find an American pickup truck. I'll give it one more week before setting an alternative challenge.

Maybe because we dont live in america 🤔🤔 also the price of tax and (up until recently) fuel has all be eradicated yank cars over here.
My Dad used to always have american motors when I was a kid. Even in 1996 it used to cost him £40 a week to fuel a 5.7l Camero, can imagine that would be closer to £100 a week now

I owned a Mach I 1970 Mustang in the 80's, so am well aware of the cost of ownership. More like a black hole to throw money down. Looks like I'll have to win my own challenge :lol .

Ok, your bike with any classic car, so the car has to be 40+ years old.
